Your logic is incoherent.
If morality is merely what humans have created as their best system to advance well-being, then there are objective right and wrong answers using cause and effect analysis to determine the best moral systems.
That's also indicative in reality, and not just philosophically - as we evolve, previously accepted morals have become barbaric, or extinct. That's due to a better cause/effect analysis, as it pertains to well-being.
It's pretty simple shit.
You'll never be the toughest guy on earth...therefore, it's probably not a good idea to let folks Murder, because it would damage your own well-being.
From there, it's a logical chain of "morals" that becomes self evident, in nature alone. No God needed but in FACT, the "God" of the bible is not trust-worthy, as he's ordered genocide, rape, baby killing etc. in one "covenant" and changed his mind in the next. His morals are subjective, not universal or unchanging...and they're also pretty abhorrent, at that.
Secular society has caused almost ALL religions to, COUGH, "reinterpret" their scriptures as we've evolved to thinking that their past interpretations were Barbaric. That's history, fingers in your ears.
There you go. Morality is OK when it’s defined by YOU. But YOU are just one voice of 3 BILLION voices.
Your inability to grasp the basic logic of who’s going to set rules for behavior is troubling for society. It’s why we are seeing a resurgence of advocates for communism and socialism. You can’t learn basic principles.
Let me help you.
Jeffry Dahmer is just as moral as Mother Teresa if there is no God. Fact. No dancing around it.
Morality is not some magical thing bestowed upon us. Its a mere name we have given to our ethical systems. The argument youre having with yourself presupposes that its magical. Its not. Its apparent survival ethics. Cause and effect. Easy concepts.
We are just animals and kill for pleasure as well as for food.
It’s only natural to shoot children.
According to you.
What I see is that humans form social communes and they've elevated us to the fittest species on earth.
Ah, humans form social communities for morality!
Like the community that took hundreds of thousands of babies by the feet and bashed their brains out against this tree.

Perfectly acceptable and unacceptable for you to push your twisted beliefs upon them.
Excuse me
Weatherman2020
Which person or group's "twisted beliefs" are
you attributing this to?
You remind me of people who blame RELIGIONS for such cult-like killings as
part of a religious rite/sacrificial ceremony.
I've heard MORE people use the SAME argument you are using here to BLAME
ALL RELIGIONS, ALL CHRISTIANS ALL THEISTS for killings in the name of "God"
So I'll say the same thing to you that I say to
them: Just because SOME people or groups abuse their beliefs to kill, abuse, oppress or otherwise violate human rights of others, doesn't mean collectively blaming ALL groups:
* neither ALL RELIGIOUS groups including Christians
* nor ALL pagan or nonchristian groups including atheists or secular humanists or whatever GROUP you are blaming for "twisted beliefs"
IMPORTANT FACTOR TO NOTE:
Weatherman2020 what I find is the KEY FACTOR that distinguishes the true believers
is FORGIVENESS that includes and extends to ALL humanity by the grace of God through Christ.
Atheists can have this same forgiveness for all people, and I knew an Atheist who taught "free grace" as a free gift in life to all people for the asking.
That doesn't require believing in a personified God or Jesus to participate in global forgiveness for all humanity to establish truth peace and justice universally.
it requires accepting the gift of forgiveness so we can redeem, renew and restore ourselves, our relations, and society/humanity as a whole.
Where I would AGREE with you as a fellow Christian believer is that this gift of forgiveness IS the unique meaning and role/message of Christ Jesus as the MESSIAH or message embodied or incarnated in all humanity to realize true and lasting peace.
Where I seem to disagree with your way of saying it, although Christ Jesus plays this unique role reconciling man and God, or individual people among earthly society RECONCILED in perfect unity with collective laws and design of God throughout Nature, Life and the Universe, the EXPRESSION of Christ Jesus is NOT LIMITED to just how Christians teach using the Bible.
The SAME spirit of Christ Jesus is known as
* Restorative Justice
* Justice with Mercy
* Peace and Justice
* Equal Justice Under Law
* Salvation
(Where Mercy, Peace, and healing are represented by the Holy Spirit that accompanies
Jesus as Justice.)
So
Weatherman2020 I agree with you in spirit,
but the communication and expression of this message is not limited to just Christian Biblical presentation. The message is UNIVERSAL and thus can be expressed in SECULAR TERMS and principles so nontheists such as Buddhist, Atheists/Agnostics, Secular Humanists and Naturalists can be included under NATURAL LAWS that Jesus also fulfills by God's authority as universal Truth and Justice.
There is nothing wrong with secular expression of these same principles as long as we are truly uniting in the same spirit of the laws and not "twisting it" or diluting/distorting or corrupting it to mean anything less that universally inclusive truth and justice that Christians call God and Jesus.
